Re: How do you feel about how the Auto desk award winners were deiced?

I personally don't agree with the voting system at all, and I wrote the following to the autodesk feedback section

I Highly dislike the voting system, it is very unfair. it turns the award into a popularity contest. a larger team has a huge advantage, and most teams have not even heard of this site , and don't have accounts here, it is difficult to create an account, I am student team leader and it took me 2 days to find out my "team password" so I could create an account to vote for my own team. many people don't understand the idea of the award, and aren't sure who to vote for, if voting system is kept, it should 1 be more publicized, 2 be easy to sign up for, and 3 be one vote per team.


after reading again, and posting here i realize it was a little harsh and not very GP, the way i worded it, but i do feel this way.

I don't think having voting by peers is professional by any means. With voting, the most colors or special effects wins. Most don't take into account the difficulty of projects among other things.
I completely agree with this, and I couldn't have worded it better!
